Ad Libitum Voices – “Dragu-mi-i mândro de tine”

“Dragu-mi-i mândro de tine” (“You are dear to me, pretty girl”) is an old popular Romanian lied by Tiberiu Brediceanu, a Romanian composer and passionate folklorist who collected over 2,000 popular folk songs especially from Banat and Maramures regions, brilliantly performed by the Romanian pop-opera vocal group, Ad Libitum Voices. This style, pop-opera, is a sub-genre of pop music, characterized by performing famous pop songs in the manner of the opera or operetta.

Ad Libitum Voices, set up in 2012 in Cluj-Napoca, is one of the few vocal groups in Romania to adopt the pop-opera style. The group is made up of two tenors, Tiberius Simu and Sergiu Coltan, the baritone Vlad Morar and a bass, Cristian Ignuţă, accompanied by the beautiful and talented pianist Bianca Murariu, all graduates of the “Gheorghe Dima” Music Academy from Cluj-Napoca, with rich artistic activities, being also active collaborators of the Romanian National Opera in Cluj-Napoca. Thanks to their innate talent for singing and their own charisma, these four young musicians permanently continue to conquer the hearts of music lovers of all kinds, both inside and outside Romania, through their highly diversified repertoire including a wide range of songs , from operas and operettas to chansonnettes, lieds and the most famous international pop hits as well.
